All families lived.

The people who worried about me have a report.

An email arrived from the family of the wife yesterday.

All families lived.

I cannot yet know others.

It was long one week.

More than 10,000 people, there is the person who does not understand safety.

In the refuge place, it snows.

I pray for many people being saved as soon as possible.

I thank all of you!

Congrats Paige Pierce, Pro Rookie of the Year

Team D's Paige Pierce of Plano, Texas wins the PDGA Female Rookie of the Year: With a dominating performance in 2010, Paige pretty much had the honor wrapped up by Worlds. Her stats were so good for her pro rookie season that she just missed making it as one of the top seven finalists for the Female Player of the Year award.

The award will be presented in August at Pro Worlds in Santa Cruz. Congrats!…

Mind control in disc golf- first step: thinking about what you're thinking about

How many times has any of the following happened to you?

* You miss badly on a tricky and/or risky putt, and almost immediately after it leaves your hand you realize that although you thought you had decided to go for it, the disc comes out weak and unsure- maybe wobbling more than usual and way too low.

* You hit a tree right after you made not hitting the tree your primary focus

* You catch yourself thinking about your overall score, and the impact your last throw had or… Continue

ice bowl 2011 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

just finished my first ice bowl, not to mention my first club event. What a blast and can't wait to the regular season.

Although after 30 holes of going through almost 3 ft of snow it was a challenging day.

The Vibram Disc Golf Review 'Preview'

When I began playing disc golf more than 20 years ago, all discs were basically the same in terms of material. They were all plastic, and they were pretty much all the type of plastic we now refer to as DX (Innova's term) or Pro-D (Discraft's). Yet despite the fact that the market for golf discs is now inundated with a continual flood of new models - most available in at least three grades of plastic - one thing has remained constant: They've always been made from plastic. Until… Continue

Ruminations on speed golf

Every now and then I substitute my thrice-weekly 3-5 mile run with a bit of speed golf. At Black Mouse DGC, a short but very mountainous track, it's a great workout. My habit there, if time allows, is to play the course twice and aim for a time of less than an hour. Today I finished the first round in 26:26, and the the entire 36 holes in 53:05. If my math is correct, that means that the second 18 holes took 13 seconds longer…

How to you become a Pro?

I've always wondered, if I win my State tournament (South Dakota), how much closer does that get me to becoming a pro? How much do the Pros make? Can they live off of disc golfing alone? What do I have to do to make it big time, other than simply win?

New Disc Golf TV Show, Snow-covered baskets in CA, and disc golf goes to (community) college

For some time now, the majority of the posts on this blog have leaned towards instructions, course reviews, and equipment reviews, and away from the author's personal experiences in the sport. This has plenty to do with my no longer competing at the higher levels, but I've got a couple tidbits to share that have nothing to do with my plummeted player rating and disappearance from the sanctioned tournament scene.

Wordle

Wordle.net is a fun site. It creates a visual picture of words based on the words you input or from a url that you supply. It has to be a site or address that has RSS support. I did this one with discgolfer.ning.com as the address.

It doesn't seem to allow you to save the image so I'll just post the link.

Chenault Disc golf : The local pitch and putt rich in history

For Christmas Eve I played 3 putter rounds at the local pitch and putt. Most people who play at my home course make fun of it but in reality they just do not appreciate the history of the location. Located on the east side of Monroe, LA, it is one of a few remaining object courses made for frisbees back in the 60's. The "baskets" are somewhat large concrete "cups" in the ground with most shots ranging from 180-245 feet. With an exception of a few younger cats like myself, the course is…
